In December 1980, Betty Cash, Vickie Landrum and her
grandson Colby Landrum, were driving along a road in Huffman, Texas when
they saw a bright light in the sky. After driving a little more along
the road, they came across a large diamond shaped
UFO
hovering over the
road belching fire out of the bottom. Since the flames were blocking the
road, they had to stop the car about 65 yards away from the craft and
the three of them got out. Vickie and Colby stayed by the car, whereas
Betty went on to get a closer look. She spent a long time gazing at it
and her skin began to burn because of the heat from the flames. She
returned to the car when the object began to rise and a large number of
unmarked black helicopters chased after the
UFO
When they got home,
they started suffering from sunburn,diarrhoea and vomiting. It has been
claimed that the craft was a US attempt at making a
UFO
since it was
spewing out flames at the bottom and was joined by many helicopters
later on (See
PROJECT SNOWBIRD).
